Tan Lotions For Sunbathing for Women
Unless you live in a tropical place year-round (can we be friends?), you’re familiar with pale girl season. Just as the leaves begin to fall outside, our summer glow fades and only gets worse as the winter months progress. For most of us, we trade our shorts for leggings and our tank tops for sweaters, so it doesn’t matter much that our tan is gone. But then you decide to wear a dress with a high slit to a winter wedding and realize I really need to tan my legs. This is the kind of situation we find ourselves in again and again during pale girl season, but what’s a girl to do? Enter: self-tanners.
Self-tanners should tick most, if not all, of these boxes to be worth your time: tolerable scent, long-lasting, won’t stain your sheets, streak-free, and easy to apply. These are the self-tanners we love and trust to get the job done right all season long:
SO-LUXURY
THE BODY Illuminating Self-Tanning Drops
Create a natural-looking, hydrated, golden tan by mixing these drops with your favorite moisturizer or body butter. Since the product comes as a concentrate in dropper form, you can customize your tan, making it as subtle or dark as you like. Raspberry seed oil, vitamin E, and aloe vera will help moisturize your skin in cold weather, making your skin look even brighter.
UNFILTERED LUX
N°32 Moisturizing Self-Tanning Cream
This self-tanning cream comes in a rosewood or santal scent, so it gives you spa vibes right from the start. But what we love is that it’s infused with shea butter, cocoa butter, and passion fruit oil, so it leaves skin hydrated and tanned. Plus, it’s non-toxic, vegan, and cruelty-free.
Salty Face
Tanning Foam
If you are looking for a clean and easy to apply formula, this is the one for you. This tanning foam contains ingredients of natural origin to soothe, firm and hydrate the skin. It doesn’t require rinsing, but if you wait longer to shower, the color will darken, giving you full control over how deep it goes. We love that it goes on clear to prevent transfer too!
